Larry the zookeeper has made the mistake of going on vacation, and now he’s in a bit of a pickle…well, more like a straitjacket than a pickle! Apparently, he spotted a giant penguin near Witchaven, and now he suspects that the other penguins may be up to something. The problem is that his superiors at the zoo don’t believe him. Speak to Larry to find out what the penguins have been up to, and help him stop them before they take over the world!

It won’t be easy to discover what the penguins are plotting, however. You’ll have to travel back to the iceberg from the Cold War quest, and don your penguin suit, to begin your espionage. Creative thinking will be needed if you’re going to get any information from the penguins, but you will find friends on the iceberg to help you: Ping and Pong will be glad to see you, and you can help them finish their new song.

After you've finished the Hunt for Red Raktuber, you'll still be able to put your keen Hunting skills to the test. A new area will be available near the Iceberg, where you‘ll be able to track down new penguin recruits. You may also find an unusual kind of spy moving around RuneScape, so keep your eyes 'well' peeled!

I’ve had a great time developing The Hunt for Red Raktuber, and I hope all you penguin fans out there enjoy it as much as I have.

was a decent quest ties in with some of the other series a lil bit, but leaves quite a bit unanswered at present.

the new polar bear doesn't seem to be as noisy as the penguins spys for hide and seek tend to be so might be a bit tougher to find each week.

but for 16 points a week now offa them will be interesting to see how they hide the bears.

Interesting. I am going to give this a 3/5 because it's a decent continuation of the penguin series but men, that series is lame. It is nice to see more distraction and diversions though.

I like how this is starting to tie up many storylines and I enjoy the whole Soviet Union storyline. It's also nice that they're adding more stuff to hunt.

I didn't read much of the conversations cause I didn't have much time before I needed to go. But it was a decent storyline imo, also the extra point for penguin is good.

Meh, 4/5. Wasn't bad but not spectacular either.

Since they added a few more things to game filter like "You don't have enough inventory space to withdraw that item" or however that goes, it makes it a good update.

3/5

Only thin that affects me is game filter, and I am so glad for that. 3/5.

4/5. Makes me question larry's sanity (or what's left of it).
